Hi, My pushbuttons don't work anymore. Any ideas on getting a new or refurbed switch? Don't want to spend on a new and flimsy machine. Best Bruce |

There are some numbers printed on the back of the program switch. If you let me know what they are, I probably have a switch for you! Steve |

Or is the switch bad electrically ?
If the buttons are getting stuck spray electrical-safe lubricant into every crack and crevice of the switch and then work the buttons until the switch loosens up. These switches used to get balky because users only ever used one cycle all the time [ usually normal ] and the switch would get a little worn. |

The numbers are: L1 D241510 on left end of switch On right end the numbers are 2998AF 72 3983 M I'll try spraying the switches elec safe lubricant as you advise Combo52. I'd wondered about that. Have to get some lube. Is WD 40 safe? |
